A Teacher in the Making.
She was a popular young normal
student, who had been to a party the
night before, and as a consequence,
was "not prepared" In the geography
class.
The woman Instructor, true to her
method of drawing upon the general
knowledge of a student rather than to
permit a failure, after eliciting two or
three inconsequential "stabs" from
her fair but jaded disciple, asked for
the products of China.
The victim brightened. "Tea," she
asserted, preparing to sit down.
"Yes, and what else?" encouraged
the instructor.
The young woman smiled with
sweet hopelessness.
"Now you can mention others, I am
sure. Just think about it."
"Tea," drawled the flute-like voice
of the pretty girl, "and," puckering
her forehead with an intellectual tour
de force, "and laundry work."—

RID FIELDS OF GRASSHOPPER
Ingenious Device Called Hopperdozer
Excellent Exterminator of
jurlous Insect.
A hopperdozer is an ingenious de- j
vice for ridding the fields of grasshop- j
pers. It Is a long, shallow pan of j
sheet iron, set on runners and having
behind it a banner or sail made of
canvas or muslin stretched on a wood-
en frame. The bottom of the pan is
covered with rags or old carpet, pre-
viously wetted with water. When all Is
ready, a pint of kerosene is poured
over the wet rags, and the banner of
cloth is also moistened with kerosene.
The dozer is then dragged on Its run-

"Do you think a man who will neg-
lect his business to go to baseball

"Oh, come, let's be optimistic. I

Easily Done If Simple Directions Given
Below Are Followed—Imple
ments Needed.
(By W. R WRIGHT, Oklahoma Kxperi-
ment Station.)
Many persons who desire to trans,
fer their bees do not understand the
best method to use to make the oper-
ation a success, hence detailed direc-
tions are given below.
Secure a bee veil, a smoker, a long
bladed knife, the wire from an old
broom or two, a pair of wire pliers
and cutter, two or three rolls of old
cotton cloth, some matches, a piece
of stout string, an ax or hatchet, and
a pair of gloves, if you wish to protect
your hands from possible stings.
Place the new hive near the colony
to be transferred and have about half
of the frames full of foundation; the
remaining four or five frames are to
be reserved for holding comb taken,
a little later, from the old hive.
The wires may be passed around the
frames lengthwise, but such an ar-
rangement will make It necessary to
remove the frames from the hive at
a later date, after the combs, which
have been held in place by the wires,
have been securely fastened to tho
frames.
After starting a good smoke in tho
bee smoker, putting on the bee veil
and gloves, tying down the trouser
legs, one is all ready to make the
transfer. An assistant is desirable,
but not a necessity.
Take from the new hive the frames
that are to contain the combs to be
cut from the old hive, and place them
on a wide board or a small table.
Now go to the colony and puff In
some smoke at the entrance, then jar
tho hive by light blows, then puff in
more smoke and jar the hive again.
This should be done four or five
times to cause the bees to fill them-
selves with honey. Bees with well-
filled honey sacks are not inclined to
sting. A forenoon hour of some pleas-
ant day should be chosen for this op-
eration.
There are some advantages in wrap-
ping strings about frames instead of
using wires, for the bees will remove
the strings, while the wires will re-
main until removed by the apiarist.
A small whisk broom or turkey
feather will be a great aid in encour-
aging the bees to travel in the right
direction.
After the preliminary smoking and
drumming tho hive should be turned
bottom up and an empty box put on
top, and the drumming and smoking
continued until most of the bees have
passed up into the box.
The new hive, now standing where
the old hive stood, will soon have re-
turning workers rushing in and out, so
the new hive should be supplied with
combs from the old ones as quickly as
possible; then the box of bees should
be shaken Into the top or onto a board
or paper in front. Care should be
taken that not many bees are crushed
and that nearly all get into the new
hive, or the queen may be lost, bring-
ing about failure. Scraps of honey
should be carried to the house and
honey drips carefully washed up, or
there may be a bad case of robbing

Water for Sheep.
Sheep drink very little water and
some persons claim that they drink
none at all. In some parts of Eng-
land, flockmasters do not permit
their ewes to drink water during the
gestation period. In this country,
which is much drier and where sheep
get little moisture from the pasture,
clean water Is necessary at all times.
Water for Bees.
Plenty of water is absolutely neces-
sary for bees; an abundant supply
should be provided, to obviate the ne-
cessity of their going to streams and
contaminated pools a long distance
away In brood rearing, bees make
little progress without plenty of
\s ater.
Plant the rows ail one way—north
and south—so the sun can strike both
sides.

and you will not need the watering
